Did lots of stuff today preparing for starting at Providence and Cathedral Arts Project, then started doing some work around the house. Then I got a call from a friend I haven't hung out with in quite some time. She needed to go shopping at the mall, and as we all know, shopping is an activity best shared with another person. (It's always good to have a second opinion or someone who can tell you that the outfit that looks really cute from the front looks really bad from the back.) So we went out, and spent quite some time in one store. But we both came away with some good purchases, and we had a wonderful time just hanging out. It was really nice spending some girl time shopping and talking!
